Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the State of Tamil Nadu against the Madras High Court's order setting aside the discharge of N. Suresh Rajan and others in a corruption case. The Court held that the evidence presented by the investigating officer established a prima facie case under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 109 IPC, thereby reversing the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough examination of the evidence before discharging the accused in corruption cases.
